What is the difference between Exempt Simulation Software Engineer vs Simulation Software Engineer?

AspectExempt Simulation Software EngineerSimulation Software Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's or higher in Computer Science or Engineering; often requires experience with simulation toolsSimilar educational background; may include additional certifications in specific simulation software
Work EnvironmentTypically in corporate or R&D settings, working on exempt-level projectsSimilar environments, often in tech or engineering firms
Employer & Industry UsageUsed across aerospace, automotive, defense, and engineering firmsCommonly found in similar industries, focusing on simulation development and testing

The main difference is that an Exempt Simulation Software Engineer often holds a salaried, exempt status with additional responsibilities or project leadership, while a Simulation Software Engineer may be non-exempt or in a more junior role. Both roles require similar skills and work environments, but the exempt role typically involves more seniority or project oversight.

Job description

Description

U.S. Citizenship is Required. Ability to qualify for a US Department of Defense security clearance required.


This is an on-site position located in Goleta, CA.


Toyon is seeking a highly motivated software engineer to develop and maintain an internal space systems modeling and simulation application written in C++. The candidate will also deploy scripted workflows to support and contribute to the modeling and analysis of advanced aerospace systems. The ideal candidate has a strong syntactical and semantic understanding of the C++ and Python languages and is not dependent on Large Language Models for writing and analyzing code.


Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute rigorous testing methodologies, including unit, integration, and system-level testing
  • Leverage academic and industry resources to implement novel probability and physics models
  • Refactor and optimize existing models for high performance computing environments
  • Create and track development action items and monitor test performance using GitLab
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams of engineers, scientists, and project managers to translate technical requirements into robust and efficient software solutions

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or advanced degree in computer science, engineering, physics, or math and 2 years of relevant experience
  • Strong proficiency in C++ and Python programming languages
  • Experience with version control software (Git, Bitbucket, GitLab)
  • Experience with software testing methodologies (unit, integration, regression)
  • Ability to create/manage workflows in scripted programming languages
  • Practical working knowledge of algorithms that involve statistical and applied probability methods (Monte Carlo sampling, hypothesis tests, regression models)

Preferred

  • Active security clearance (Secret or Top Secret)
  • Experience working with classified data and secure computing environments
  • Exposure to aerospace vehicle dynamics, flight mechanics, or GNC (guidance, navigation, & control) systems
  • Exposure to Space Situational Awareness concepts, EO/IR sensor and radar phenomenology
  • Experience with detection, tracking, and discrimination algorithms
  • Background in high-performance, computationally intensive simulations (profiling, multithreading, compiler-level tuning)
  • Familiarity with non-object-oriented architectures such as Entity-Component frameworks

WE OFFER AN EXCEPTIONAL EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PACKAGE!

  • Competitive Industry Pay
  • 100% Employer-Paid Medical Insurance Premium
  • HSA with Employer Contributions
  • Dental and Vision Coverage Options
  • Paid Holidays
  • Paid Vacation and Sick leave
  • Company Funded 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plans
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
  • Life and Disability Insurance  
  • Paid Parental Leave
  • Discretionary Bonus Eligibility

The annual pay range for the Simulation Software Engineer position is $110,000 to $180,000.


The posted pay range values provide the candidate with guidance on annual base compensation for the position, at a full time level of effort, exclusive of overtime, bonus, and benefits-related compensation, over a range of qualifications that may fit hiring objectives.
